Due to the denominational development of the Electoral Palatinate, there were three Christian denominations in Eppingen in the middle of the 18th century: Catholics , Reformed and Lutherans . While Catholics and Reformed Christians shared the parish church of Our Lady as a simultaneous church , the Lutherans received the former St. Peter's Church for their services. Later the Lutheran denominational school , first mentioned in 1803, was set up there. After Reformed and Lutherans merged to form the Evangelical Church in 1821, the building served as an Evangelical Girls' School. The school initially only had one room, but was later expanded. The west side of the building remained a school house until recently, most recently as a cooking school.
